User-Generated Content Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2025

This User-Generated Content (UGC) Policy explains how content shared on Grow As You Go ("GAYG") is governed by Grow As You Go. It works alongside the Community Guidelines and Content Safety & Moderation Policy.

Ownership and rights

You own the content you create and upload to GAYG, including posts, journal entries, workout logs, media, and feedback.
By submitting UGC, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display your content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving GAYG.
This license allows us to feature community highlights, power personalization, and ensure backups. It continues as long as your content remains on GAYG and for a reasonable period afterward for archival and legal purposes.

By posting content, you represent and warrant that:

You have the necessary rights or permissions to share it.
Your content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights of others.
Your content complies with applicable law and our Acceptable Use Policy.
People appearing in your content have given proper consent, especially for minors.

Do not upload or share:

Hate speech, harassment, or threats.
Nudity or sexual content involving minors, or exploitative adult material.
Instructions for self-harm, suicide, or dangerous challenges.
Medical or fitness claims presented as guaranteed outcomes or as replacements for professional care.
Malware, phishing links, or unauthorized data collection scripts.
Content that reveals private or personal data without permission.

We may remove or edit UGC that violates this policy or poses risk.
We may disable accounts for repeated or egregious violations.
Removed content may be stored temporarily to support investigations or appeals.
We may provide anonymized summaries of enforcement actions to the community to reinforce expectations.

If you believe content on GAYG infringes your copyright, submit a DMCA notice using the process in our Copyright & IP Policy.
We may notify the user and give them a chance to file a counter-notice.
Repeat infringers may have accounts terminated.
We may publish guidance on how to avoid copyright issues, such as using royalty-free music or properly citing sources.
